Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, has won a two-year legal battle with the Mail on Sunday over the publication of a letter she wrote to her estranged father, Thomas Markle, after her wedding to Prince Harry.
The High Court ruled that the Duchess had had a reasonable expectation that the letter would remain private.
In a statement she thanked the court for holding the newspaper to account and said the damage the paper had done and continued to do runs deep.
Associated Newspapers, the publishers of the Daily Mail, Mail on Sunday and MailOnline, said they were surprised and disappointed by the judgement.
